The IL-2 receptor complex is minimally composed of two genetically unrelated subunits of relative molecular masses 55 and 75 kDa respectively. Structural information deduced from the cDNA sequences of either subunit have not revealed significant information as to the basis of the mechanisms of IL-2 receptor signal transduction. Nevertheless, IL-2 stimulates the activation of one or more tyrosine kinases requiring the functional participation of the p75 member of the receptor complex. Here we have developed the methods to isolate the receptor complex with an associated tyrosine protein kinase. Extracts of membrane glycoproteins from activated normal human T lymphocytes and cell lines demonstrated catalytic activation of tyrosine kinase activity when stimulated with IL-2. Purification of the receptor complex with biotinylated IL-2 revealed the presence of two dominant phosphotyrosyl-proteins of approximate molecular masses 58 and 97 kDa. Denaturation gel electrophoresis followed by renaturation of proteins associated with the IL-2 receptor complex demonstrated that the 97 kDa protein had catalytic autophosphorylation activity. The results indicate that the 58 and 97 kDa phosphotyrosyl-proteins can be found to co-precipitate with the IL-2 receptor complex and that the 97 kDa protein was demonstrated to have protein kinase activity. The association of such kinases with receptors devoid of catalytic structure may represent a unique paradigm of growth-factor receptor mechanisms.

Stimulation of the interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor results in phosphorylation and activation of cytosolic Raf-1 serine/threonine kinase. Herein, we report that enzymatically active Raf-1 is physically associated with the IL-2 receptor beta chain (p75) in T-cell blasts. Following stimulation with IL-2, Raf-1 dissociates from the IL-2 receptor complex and translocates to the cytosol. Genistein, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, prevents the dissociation of enzymatically active Raf-1 from the ligand-stimulated IL-2 receptor complex. These data favor a model of IL-2 receptor activation in which an IL-2-activated protein tyrosine kinase phosphorylates the IL-2 receptor and/or receptor-bound Raf-1. Following tyrosine phosphorylation, enzymatically active Raf-1 dissociates from the IL-2 receptor and translocates into the cytosol.

Cellular responses to epidermal growth factor (EGF) are dependent on the tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity of the cell-surface EGF receptor. Previous studies using WB rat liver epithelial cells have detected at least 10 proteins whose phosphotyrosine (P-Tyr) content is increased by EGF. In this study, we have examined alternate modes of activating tyrosine phosphorylation. Treatment of WB cells with hormones linked to Ca2+ mobilization and protein kinase C (PKC) activation, including angiotensin II, [Arg8]vasopressin, or epinephrine, stimulated rapid (less than or equal to 15-s) and transient increases in the P-Tyr content of several proteins (p120/125, p75/78, and p66). These proteins, detected by anti-P-Tyr immunoblotting, were similar in molecular weight to a subset of EGF-sensitive P-Tyr-containing proteins (P-Tyr-proteins). The increased P-Tyr content was confirmed by [32P]phosphoamino acid analysis of proteins recovered by anti-P-Tyr immunoprecipitation. Elevating intracellular [Ca2+] with the ionophore A23187 or ionomycin or with the tumor promoter thapsigargin mimicked the effects of hormones on tyrosine phosphorylation, whereas treatment with a PKC-activating phorbol ester did not. In addition, responses to angiotensin II were not diminished in PKC-depleted cells. Ca2+ mobilization, measured by fura-2 fluorescence, was coincident with the increase in tyrosine phosphorylation in response to angiotensin II or thapsigargin. Loading cells with the intracellular Ca2+ chelator bis-(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N ,N ,N' , N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA) inhibited the appearance of all P-Tyr-proteins in response to angiotensin II, thapsigargin, or ionophores, as well as two EGF-stimulated P-Tyr-proteins. The majority of EGF-stimulated P-Tyr-proteins were not affected by BAPTA. These studies indicate that angiotensin II can alter protein-tyrosine phosphorylation in a manner that is secondary to, and apparently dependent on, Ca2+ mobilization. Thus, ligands such as EGF and angiotensin II, which act through distinct types of receptors, may activate secondary pathways involving tyrosine phosphorylation. These results also raise the possibility that certain growth-promoting effects of Ca2+ -mobilizing agents such as angiotensin II may be mediated via tyrosine phosphorylation.

Incubation of plasma membranes isolated from bovine aorta with either 0.5 mM CaCl2 or with a phorbol ester (1 microM phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate) and phosphatidylserine in an EGTA-containing buffer resulted in the phosphorylation of 10 proteins (Mr of 158, 105, 75, 62, 44, 39, 33, 22, 15 and 9 kDa), presumably due to activation of endogenous protein kinase C (PKC). After heat treatment of the aortic plasma membranes at 80 degrees C for 5 min in order to inactivate all endogenous protein kinase, phosphatase and ATPase activities, membrane phosphorylation was absolutely-dependent upon the addition of an exogenous, partially-purified PKC preparation from bovine aorta. Under these conditions, a total of 17 phosphoproteins could be detected (Mr of 158, 105, 75, 44, 39, 33, 30, 29, 27, 25, 22, 17.5, 16, 15, 11, 10 and 9 kDa). The most prominent phosphoprotein band in native membranes had a molecular weight of 75 kDa (p75); several characteristics suggest that p75 might be autophosphorylated PKC. The phosphorylation of aortic plasma membranes by exogenous PKC required phosphatidylserine and was calcium-dependent (10(-5) to 10(-7) M Ca2+); the addition of diolein resulted in little or no enhancement of phosphorylation. Replacement of phosphatidylserine with oleic acid resulted in the same number of phosphoproteins, but the extent of phosphorylation was diminished. The phosphorylation pattern was altered slightly if the aortic plasma membranes were isolated in the presence of 1 mM Ca2+ instead of EGTA buffers as in the standard procedure. Experiments were performed to determine if the p39 substrate of PKC in aortic plasma membranes was calpactin II (lipocortin I). Immunoblotting established that calpactin II was present in aortic plasma membranes, but there was no corresponding phosphoprotein on the autoradiographs.

The cell-surface receptor for interleukin-2 (IL-2) consists of two unlinked polypeptides of 55 and 75 kDa (p55, p75). The monoclonal antibody antiTac binds to p55 alone. We show here that the binding of either IL-2 or antiTac to the surface of T lymphocytes triggered the generation of cAMP. Reagents which activate adenyl cyclase by stimulation of its guanine nucleotide-binding protein (Gs) also stimulated increases in cAMP. All of the above reagents, and cAMP itself, stimulated the turnover of phosphate residues bound to serine and threonine residues of an 85 kDa protein. The data provide evidence that the binding of ligands to the p55 component of the IL-2 receptor generates a biochemical signal by the stimulation of adenyl cyclase via Gs, and that the consequent generation of cAMP and activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase modulates the turnover of p85-bound phosphate groups.

Monoclonal antibodies have been raised against a dimeric cell surface antigen (p75/150) which is specifically associated with the tumorigenic phenotype in human fibroblast X HeLa hybrids. During biosynthesis, a precursor molecule (p70/140), was associated with microsomal membranes in vivo but possessed no detectable cytoplasmic domains. At this stage, each p70 monomer contained 3 "high-mannose" type N-linked glycans which were subsequently processed into endoglycosidase H-insensitive complex oligosaccharides on the mature cell surface forms. Cleavage of this cell surface form with endoglycosidase F yielded non-N-glycosylated polypeptides of Mr = 60,000/120,000. All the monoclonal antibodies identified similar non-N-glycosylated polypeptides in cells grown in the presence of tunicamycin. p75/150 could be weakly labeled with [3H]palmitic or myristic acid. In vivo, p75/150 was found to be phosphorylated on serine residues. Immunoprecipitates of p75/150 from HeLa or tumorigenic hybrid cell lysates exhibited protein kinase activity in vitro, which phosphorylated p75/150 itself, also on serine residues. We were unable to detect this kinase activity in normal fibroblasts and in the nontumorigenic hybrid cells. Furthermore, we were unable to detect p75/150 or its precursors by either cell surface labeling, metabolic labeling, or Western blotting in nontumorigenic cell hybrids; p75/150 thus represents a tumor-specific marker in this system. Tryptic peptides of highly purified p75/150 have been generated, but their amino acid sequences did not reveal any significant homology with previously described proteins.

In addition to its intra-cellular functions, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) may well have an extra-cellular regulatory role in blood. This suggestion is based on the following experimental findings: (a) Physiological stimulation of blood platelets brings about a specific release of PKA, together with its co-substrates ATP and Mg++; (b) In human serum, an endogenous phosphorylation of one protein (p75, M(r) 75 kDa) occurs; this phosphorylation is enhanced by addition of cAMP and blocked by the Walsh-Krebs specific PKA inhibitor; (c) No endogenous phosphorylation of p75 occurs in human plasma devoid of platelets, but the selective labeling of p75 can be reproduced by adding to plasma the pure catalytic subunit of PKA; (d) p75 was shown to be vitronectin (V), a multifunctional protein implicated in processes associated with platelet activation, and thus a protein whose function may require modulation for control; (e) The phosphorylation of vitronectin occurs at one site (Ser378) which, at physiological pH, is buried in its two-chain form (V65 + 10) but it becomes 'exposed' in the presence of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) e.g. heparin or heparan sulfate. Such a transconformation may be used for targeting the PKA phosphorylation to vitronectin molecules bound to GAGs, for example in the extracellular matrix or on cell surfaces; (f) From the biochemical point of view (Km values and physiological concentrations) the phosphorylation of vitronectin can take place at the locus of a hemostatic event; (g) The phosphorylation of Ser378 in vitronectin alters its function, since it significantly reduces its ability to bind the inhibitor-1 of plasminogen activator(s) (PAI-1).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Cellular responses initiated by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) are mediated by two different cell surface receptors with respective molecular masses of 55 kDa (p55) and 75 kDa (p75). p55 is functional in almost every cell type and can independently transmit most biological activities of TNF. In contrast, TNF signaling via p75 seems so far largely restricted to cells of lymphoid origin, where it can induce proliferation, cytokine production, and/or apoptosis. The mechanisms that regulate TNF receptor activity are largely unknown. Here we report that the p75 of unstimulated p75-responsive PC60 T cells is phosphorylated on serine by a kinase activity present in p75 immune complexes. Several lines of evidence indicate that the latter kinase is casein kinase-1 (CK-1). Previous results have shown that the p75 TNF receptor is constitutively phosphorylated in vivo. Our data show that the latter in vivo phosphorylation is also at least partially due to CK-1. Pretreatment of cells with TNF had no detectable effect on p75 phosphorylation in vitro or in vivo. However, a specific CK-1 inhibitor potentiated TNF-induced apoptosis mediated by p75, suggesting an inhibitory role for phosphorylation by CK-1. Although in vivo p75 phosphorylation could be seen in both p75-unresponsive and p75-responsive cell lines, in vitro p75 phosphorylation in p75 coimmunoprecipitates could not be observed in cell lines that were biologically unresponsive to p75 stimulation. The latter observation further indicates a regulatory role for p75 phosphorylation in p75-mediated signaling. Taken together, our data demonstrate that the p75 TNF receptor is phosphorylated and associated with CK-1, which negatively regulates p75-mediated TNF signaling.

Purine analogues are protein kinase inhibitors, and they block with varying potency and specificity certain of the biological actions of nerve growth factor (NGF). The analogue 6-thioguanine (6-TG) has been shown to inhibit with high specificity protein kinase N (PKN), a serine/threonine protein kinase activated by NGF in several cellular systems. In the present work, immunoprecipitates of p75 NGF receptors from PC12 cells (+/-NGF treatment) were assayed for protein kinase activity using the substrate myelin basic protein under phosphorylating conditions optimal for PKN and in the presence or absence of purine analogues. An NGF-inducible activity was detected, and approximately 80% was inhibited by purine analogues. This activity was maximally stimulated by NGF within 5-10 min, partially decreased by 60 min, and returned to basal levels after 15 h of NGF treatment. The analogue 6-TG inhibited the NGF-inducible p75-associated kinase activity with an IC50 in the range of 15-35 microM. In mutant PC12 nnr-5 cells that lack the Trk NGF receptor, the purine-analogue-sensitive p75-associated kinase activity was not inducible by NFG. In normal PC12 cells, cyclic AMP analogues and epidermal growth factor failed to induce the same activity. Application of either 2-aminopurine or 6-TG to intact cells only slightly inhibit the NGF-dependent induction of the purine-analogue-inhibited p75-associated kinase activity. This activity shares many similarities but also displays some significant differences with cytosolic PKN. Our findings therefore indicate the association of a purine-analogue-sensitive protein kinase with p75 NGF receptors.

The biological activity of nerve growth factor (NGF) has been shown to be mediated by the p140trkA receptor tyrosine kinase, while the role of the p75 NGF receptor (p75NGFR) is still unresolved. Here we have investigated the relative contribution of p140trkA and p75NGFR to early consequences of NGF binding: ligand internalization, p140trkA autophosphorylation, and tyrosine phosphorylation of Shc, phospholipase C gamma-1 (PLC gamma-1), and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs). It was found that NGF internalization was neither prevented by blocking p140trkA activity using the protein kinase inhibitors methylthioadenosine, staurosporine, and K-252a, nor by inhibiting NGF binding to p75NGFR with antibodies. However, when NGF binding to p140trkA was reduced by the use of a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 36-53 of human p140trkA, internalization of NGF was decreased. Thus, at least in PC12 cells, internalization appears to require binding of NGF to p140trkA, but occurs irrespective of p140trkA kinase activity and ligand occupancy of p75NGFR. The NGF triple mutant Lys-32/Lys-34/Glu-35 to Ala, which has been demonstrated to bind to p140trkA, but not to p75NGFR, induced tyrosine phosphorylation more rapidly than wild-type NGF. Likewise, NGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation was accelerated when NGF binding to p75NGFR was prevented with REX-IgG. These findings indicate that NGF bindign by p75NGFR may modulate NGF-induced p140trkA kinase activity.
